High School Students Can Experience College
January 22, 2010

 Allow your rising high school junior or senior to experience life at Emory before making a formal commitment.
Emory College of Arts and Sciences recently announced course offerings in this summer's 2010 Pre-College program for high school students. The Pre-College program allows talented rising high school juniors and seniors to experience Emory's distinctive academic and residential community.
The Pre-College experience can be transformational: both fun and academically focused. Students may enhance their academic portfolio and earn college credit in six-week undergraduate courses or enroll in two-week, non-credit courses for personal enrichment without the pressures of a grade. All classes are taught by committed Emory faculty who enjoy teaching and guiding prospective college students. The topics and courses allow for self-discovery, the chance to explore a possible major or career field, or enjoy that heightened level of creative expression and exposure that's not always available in the high school curriculum.
Six-week credit courses are offered in disciplines including Biology, Economics, Mathematics, Film Studies, Languages, Theater Studies, Social Sciences and Visual Arts. Two-week non-credit courses span similar subject areas and include classes such as "Globalization: The Sociology of a Shrinking World," "Lawyer as Advocate and Advisor," "Spectacular Soundtracks: Music in Movies," "Public Health Career Opportunities and Practices," "Medicines for Mental Health," "Ethics and Bioethics" and the Science of Sustainability Institute. Courses run from May 8 through Aug. 6.
For a full course listing, admission requirements and an online application to this exciting summer program, visit www.college.emory.edu/pre-college. The application deadline is May 1.
